The experience

You walk through Turin's most elegant neighborhoods with a guide who knows the city's chocolate history. The route takes you past Art Nouveau cafés and along tree-lined boulevards to two historic chocolate shops. The kind that have operated since the 1700s and still look it. At each stop, you taste: the original Bicerin (a layered drink of chocolate, coffee and cream that originated here), gianduiotto (hazelnut chocolate), cremino (layered chocolate and hazelnut), and a small selection of gourmet artisan chocolates the shop has made for generations.

The walk lasts two hours and moves at a pace that lets you linger in each shop and ask questions. Your guide speaks English, Italian or German, depending on your booking. The experience is built around tasting and conversation rather than rushing through stops, so you get time to understand why these particular chocolates matter to Turin's identity and to the people who still make them by hand.
